At their new prices, bikes have become unaffordable for the majority of buyers. In terms of price, some Chinese bikes may still be an option. They do, however, have their own issues, such as poor after-sales service, poor build quality, reliability concerns, and low resale value.
According to industry reports, Pakistan has achieved up to 90% localization in bike manufacturing. Unfortunately, this localization is not beneficial to people if they continue to pay exorbitant prices for barebones bikes.
